On my son's laptop, I went to reboot this morning. (I was trying to see why I couldn't connect via ssh.) On boot, I got a message that /tmp was full and that the desktop manager would not start.
What do I do? It won't let me login.

Boot the "failsafe" mode, or, failing that, boot from a CD/DVD and select the "rescue" system. Then locate the /tmp partition and clean it up.

Okay, this seems to be a little more of an issue. I deleted - as root - all files in /tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp On boot, after selecting which user to login with, I get the message, "Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation." I had a chat with my friend, google, and I found and followed directions here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43335 http://www.kde-forum.org/artikel/17997/call-to-lnusertemp-failed-temporary-d... http://www.pclinuxos.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=23065.0;wap2 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/mandriva-30/call-to-lnusertemp-faile... So far, no luck. I can login as a user either on console or another Window manager - IceWM but not GNOME or KDE.
